Belgium-based biotech firm Galapagos (Euronext: GLPG) announced today that the selective JAK1 inhibitor filgotinib as once-daily monotherapy at week 24 showed further improvements in signs and symptoms of moderately to severe, active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the DARWIN 2 Phase IIb study.

Filgotinib was well tolerated in this study. Hemoglobin levels increased. These final 24-week study results are consistent with the efficacy and safety profile of filgotinib observed in prior clinical studies.
